Oh I posted this really late at night so I wasn't thinking at all! I wasn't planing to put a figure on anything, that's why I put the tag 'prank' in the tags. It was manly to see what people thought.
P.S. I did not mean the real Big Ben, I meant the one inside Peter pan's flight, but still not a good idea!
Oh derp XD Still, most of what I said applies; even more so the vandalism portion. xD; I think making a Bellbridge lamp sounds significantly more safer and a lot more fun anyway~
I'm not sure the legal stand point of this, let alone how long the figure would last up there before being destroyed by elements and birds. I'm sorry to say, but it sounds like a bad idea. As sentimental and sweet as it is, it would be more trouble and less rewarding than it's worth. Instead, why not craft a fake Big Ben model that is roughly a few feet high and place a small figurine on that and take a few pictures? It would be significantly less dangerous and if you coat everything in a glaze or a thin layer of resin and keep in in doors, it should last twice as long. c: Would also make for a great room decoration too! Imagine it also being a lamp, which I can totally see being plausible. Aha! If you decide against it, I'm going to try making a lamp for myself; but not of Big Ben, but of Bellbridge Tower~ Ehehe... Sorry... Rambled a bit there.
Still, if you're set on getting those figures up there--- I highly recommend making sure they are coated in thick layers of resin or at least something to protect the original clay model from rain, sleet and snow... Not to mention wind damage! Also, gluing them down onto the tower would be a good idea as well--- Don't want those birds getting to them and snatching them for their nests. I also suggest trying to find a place on Big Ben where they have something over them, like a support beam or anything to help further protect them from the elements.
I also have to say; tread with caution. If you plan on putting clay figures on the top of a tower like Big Ben, please don't do anything that will put your life at risk. Also, check the laws of vandalism for London--- Because I'm pretty sure gluing clay figurines onto a historical and well known landmark is technically a form of that.
